In relationships , many people have a rule that you do not keep secrets from one another. For whatever reason, however, there are some people throughout the world that, despite being in a happy and loving relationship, have some secrets they won’t admit .
Some things are better left unsaid and taken to the grave with you, rather than hurting someone else or upsetting them entirely.

All the fries.
NecromanticGarden confessed that his wife loves the french fries that fall out in the to-go bag whenever they go get fast food together. He isn’t sure why, but says that she “loves them.” So, he will go out of his way to empty out fries from his fry container just so she can have more “bag fries.”
True love is sharing the blue sour candy.

It’s a free-for-all.

“He does not know that he was my teenage crush since I was 12 and I wrote so many beautiful poems on him. We have been married for 6 years and have a child together. I don’t know if I will ever have the courage to tell him that I have always loved him,” Mai128 said

She knew the whole time.

He helps her sleep.
“My wife is prone to nightmares and often whimpers or screams in her sleep when she has one. I can reassure her without waking her and get her to feel safe enough that she makes happy little cooing noises while she’s still sound asleep. I’ve been doing this for her for over thirty years,” said silviazbitch .
His smell is everything.

dream_weaver35 shared that her husband’s birthday is on Christmas Eve, so many people forget a lot of times to wish him a happy birthday because they are “preoccupied” with Christmas. So every year, she sends a massive text to people to remind them. It’s been a long 12 years and she still does it.
